Happy Wednesday lovey dovies.
As I mentioned a couple days ago, my life just finally calmed down a bit after being pretty nutso there for a while, so needless to say, it has been quite some time since I was able to get any fun projects done. I figured for getting back into it, I may want to do something small and simple – not put too much stress on the situation.
I also mentioned earlier this week that I am trying to be a bit healthier (physically, mentally, etc.), and with that, I have started taking lunch and snacks into work (sorry Chiptole, I ❤ Teriyaki, Havana, and others). But in doing so, I wasn’t overly excited by any of the typical lunch bags you see out there. So in an effort to create something a bit more unique yet simple, I figured I’d start with a $1.50 canvas bag. To spruce it up a bit I pulled out my painters tape and some black fabric paint I had left over from a school project.
And a few minutes later, boom! Triangle bag. I am kinda in love with it. It is so easy, very graphic and was SO cheap that even if something spills in it or a handle breaks or any other traumatic event occurs, it can be redone in just minutes.
What are your favorite quick DIYs? I am feeling really addicted to the instant gratification they provide; in fact, right after I made this bag I quickly started a second project that was just about on par with the simplicity of this one and will be on the blog later this week.
it’s so funny that you did this DIY…I feel like I keep running into triangles lately. on another note – bringing your lunch to work is the BEST (save money & eat better food!)…I’m on a bento box kick myself.
Triangles are so hot right now 🙂 and my frugal husband is LOVING that I am taking my lunch to work, double win.
Simple, yet uber chic. Love it! ~M.
Thanks, M!

LOVE this! i recently bought some linen at the fabric store, made some potato stamps and DIY’d some tea towels – super easy and super satisfying! (I too used a triangle pattern 🙂
